I’m left a wreck
on the shores of my yeses.
Boundaries broken.
Advantages taken.
Waves crash through
my common senses.
All those years
trying to please,
seeming contrite
but acidic with spite.
A simpering tongue
trips on a simple ‘no’.
A ‘yes’ is a syllable dumb.
A ‘no’ is a far harder blow.
For punishment comes
with the N and the O.
Survival means faking
a shiny tableau.

Saying ‘No’ requires a lot of courage and self-respect. It certainly is difficult to learn but always an invaluable investment of our efforts.
Chin up =)
Thanks for stopping by to comment on my blog. Saying no could save a lot of people a lot of time and angst, but it is one of the hardest things to do. Worth it for one’s sense of self, thought.
